"When I sat down with Larfleeze, I could really see how he falls into what I do," Giffen told CBR in 2012 about Larfleeze's "Threshold" co-feature. "He's a massively flawed character but he's hilariously flawed in circumstances where those flaws come to the surface. The bwa-ha-ha is in 'Ambush Bug.' And this isn't Lobo. It's Larfleeze, which is a whole other set of circumstances."
